I don’t feel bad for anybody who willingly works for a murder-bot startup. I hope they never get a single paycheck.

Why is Ayanna Pressley not considered “serious” competition?

Not news to me.

This is because the majority of Cuban-Americans are the descendants and relatives of wealthy plantation owners who fled Cuba during/after the revolution.

LLMs take the intellectual labor of billions and convert it into a form that can be privatized and commodified so capitalists can charge for access. It’s the enclosure of the commons extended to the digital realm.

This is just the no true scotsman fallacy. Evangelicals are one of the largest sects of Christianity. You can disown them if you like, but outsiders to the Christian faith aren’t going to care who is the real Christian when all sects claim to be so to the exclusion of all others.

How “healthy” it is to attend holiday gatherings with your family depends entirely on your family’s chud ratio.

If being a realist means compromising your values before negotiations even begin and calling that strategy then yes that is going to be very poorly received.

We didn’t finish the job and that’s why we’re in this mess. We left all the petty tyrants that rule over our workplaces alone and they put democracy on a leash.

Not where I grew up it wasn’t.

The corporate media would obfuscate the socialist character of the revolution and call it an anti-communist revolution.

I went normie > libertarian > liberal > socialist > anarchist. I’ve been on a journey. In a sense my viewpoint now is a synthesis of my initial instincts and what I learned since. Thesis: libertarian, antithesis: socialist, synthesis: anarchist.

Man I just love living nearby to a uranium enrichment facility. It’s nice to know I’ll be killed in the first nuclear exchange instead of having to suffer the aftermath.

My compost pile will appreciate those things more than my colon will.

Corporations don’t have ideologies, only financial incentives and strategic marketing.

I do see a problem with dumb people following rich people, which is why I’m a socialist. I don’t see Hasan as a leader, I see him as a comrade. Socialism is not a poverty cult, the rich can be class traitors too and it matters where their money came from and if they’re honest about it. Hasan also puts his money where his mouth is, donating to campaigns, mobilizing his audience to campaign, funding and fundraising for causes like the PCRF, and delivering aid to and platforming Cubans suffering under US sanctions. Anyone who consistently delivers materially to the working class deserves the benefit of the doubt.

A first-person perspective will give you the best view.

On the matter of nepotism, his uncle is Cenk Uygur who is the co-creator of The Young Turks (a progressive news show). Hasan acknowledges that he benefited from nepotism to launch his career as a political commentator since he got his start working for The Young Turks with his uncle. It’s not like he hides it or presents himself as “self-made” or any other bullshit like that, so I don’t really have a problem with it either.

This quote is from a satirical comedy bit where he is playing a character imitating a specific archetype of a conservative at the time. The video even includes a disclaimer that it is satire, so if you saw a clip of him saying that and just believed it then it shows that you don’t even do the bare minimum of checking context.

And the precedent’s already set by big ag companies patenting genetically modified crops.
